Assured, gimlet-eyed writing - along with a pressing story premise, strong interview talent, solid research and flawless production - elevates this narrative podcast. Susan Burton eschews the host-centred lens - and is all the more compelling for it 👏👏

Let's state the obvious: @DanielGAlarcon is a gifted writer -- evident from "The Good Whale," the latest series from @serial that Daniel wrote and hosted. On the latest @soundschoolpod, Rob dissects all the satisfying morsels. Listen!

I binged this series over two days on back-to-back walks. It was fascinating and brought my mind to a place of reflection that I didn't expect. Recommended!
This six-part series tells the story of the experiment to return Keiko, star of the movie “Free Willy,” to the ocean — while the world watched. Start listening to the incredible tale now. nyti.ms/3D8vksy

I’m in total awe. “The Good Whale” by @serial was a phenomenal podcast. I had such a visceral reaction to each and every episode. I just finished episode 6, the final episode, and I’m absolutely filled with emotion. If you love wildlife- please listen.
Our new show is here: The story of a wildly ambitious science experiment to return Keiko, the whale from "Free Willy," to the ocean — while the world watches. Listen to episodes 1 and 2 of The Good Whale" today. bit.ly/4hNln3w

If you’re traveling for the holidays and need a good podcast, I can’t recommend this enough. And don’t let episode 5 slip past because it’s unusual. I’m crying trying to describe it a week after I listened to it!
Our new show “The Good Whale” tells the epic story of what happened to Keiko — the captive orca who starred in the movie “Free Willy” — once the cameras stopped rolling and he had to learn to be wild. nyti.ms/3YSmuI2

This isn’t your average story of a movie star whose life gets turned around. 🐳

At year's end, an enormous THANK YOU to all of the list-makers and round-uppers who've nodded to THE RETRIEVALS. Including @TheAtlantic, @voguemagazine, & @Vulture, which named it #1: "Brilliant, unforgettable, and the best thing I’ve heard all year.” vulture.com/article/best-pod…

Final episode of The Kids of Rutherford County dropped today.
For @meribah, this is the culmination of >3 yrs work on the illegal jailing of kids. So many interviews, FOIAs, data sets...
She saw this story all the way through.

This podcast - about lawyers and injustice and holding power to account - is exquisite.
Listen to a handful of lawyers take on one judge’s youth justice policy.
They lose day after day after day.
And then, they win.

In 2016, 11 schoolchildren were arrested for not stopping a fight between some other kids. What happened in the wake of those arrests exposed a juvenile justice system playing by its own rules. Listen to episode 1 of “The Kids of Rutherford County” today. nyti.ms/45Lgpxk

I was moved by this wrenching essay. The part where the doctors ignore her severe pain for 20+ years is only the beginning. @lizzieohreally, thank you for your kind words about and serious consideration of The Retrievals. Means the world to me.

For many reasons, the latest round of @serial might be the best yet. The production’s elegance fits the nature of the subject. It’s a complex story, and @burtonsusan is open about the ethics involved.
Exemplary.
Must listen, but not an easy listen.

This is so thought-provoking. @serial usually doesn’t disappoint but so far this one is going to be a standout.

I haven’t listened to a podcast this gripping for a while. @serial’s “The Retrievals” explores how an American fertility clinic ignored women’s pain. It is an astounding story of motherhood, betrayal and loss, as I write in @TheEconomist economist.com/culture/2023/0…
